grauwulfOn work...
Well my contract at BMW runs up at the end of this week. (yes it was only schedualed to be a month gig) So I will once again find myself unemployeed, 5Ux0rZ. All in all it has been a good little stint, got to really refresh my MicroShaft-Foo which is a good thing I guess. Also, my boss seems to be pretty happy with the work so far. I dont think a grood reference from bmw can look too bad on my resume.
This is the first time I've ever really worked as a 'professional consultant', I've done my own stuff in the past but this has been totaly different. One thing I really like is that every body just leaves me alone and lets me work. But I just cant get over being a programming prostatute. It seems like every body looks through me insted of at me, like I am a peice of equipment as opposed to a person.
So what if I land another gig? do I continue as a floating peice of technical supper glue? being squeezed into the cracks to hold the broken peices together? hummm....
On School...
well some of you may know that I have gone back to school to pursue the paper legitimacy of my knowledge base. I think that maybe starting off in the summer session may have been a bad idea. I am so out of the habbit of studying, of course this semimester is all crappy basic classes (mat,eng,psc) I know that I can do the work and all but the time constraints are kicking my ass at the moment (up at 6, work:7-4, class till 10:10, M-Th) *sigh* well at least I'll more time for school after friday :/
On SCA...
I really need to fence more. I haven't been able to get to many events latley and I really feel like I'm slacking off too much. Gail said she stop counting sca events for 2002 after 31. I haven't been keeping track but I think I've made its about 8-9 for 03 so far. I'm teaching fencing most Sundays in greenville. It has made me much more aware of areas for my own improvment, but I dont feel like I'm keeping the 'knives sharp' I guess that I am just frustrated cuz I was just starting to feel confident and I think that If I had the time to dedicate to the arte that I could really help the Kingdom to be one of the best Rapier Kingdoms in the known world. But then again, in a very realy sence, what can 'I' really do? bugger it...
Bye for now, I am going to start posting to lj regulary again. its weird but even posting silly quizes seems to be relaxing/theroputic in some weird way..
